acpi "ac_adapter" events

[elijahr]

Thank you for the suggestion. I should have specified, I'm using Manjaro with i3 so I don't have the KDE settings.
I did find a way to listen for AC adapter events, using udev, something like this as a rule in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/:

Code:

ACTION=="change", SUBSYSTEM=="power_supply", RUN+="the_command"

Then I ran sudo udevadm control --reload to reload the udev rules.

In my script, I check whether the AC adapter is plugged in with:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

case $(cat /sys/devices/platform/dc-charger/power_supply/dc-charger/online) in
    0)
      # do something when unplugged
      ;;
    1)
      # do something when plugged in
      ;;
